Our first trip trying to use it was weird. I hooked everything up and eventually got a signal however we were unable to get any local channels and I don't think I was getting HD.
Others have addressed your local stations issue, but I think there's another more basic issue . . .
It doesn't sound like your dish was aimed correctly if you weren't picking up HD channels + you may not have been receiving the sat that your locals are on.
After you set up your dish, did you do a Check Switch on your Hopper?
